1 Restoration Project: The City of UA will be unveiling information on their
website under Resident Services/Fire, about a joint project of the City and
Fire Division's union to raise $50,000 to renovate the community's first fire
engine, brought into service in 1930. Hope to have details finalized to unveil
this program in early November. There will be several activities tied to the fundraising
efforts over the next year, when the engine gets restored, with the goal of showing
it in the 2005 Fourth of July parade in celebration of the Fire Divisions' diamond
